MONTGOMERY DESTINED TO BE A COACH

While the
beginning of football around the country grabs most of the headlines this time
of year, Scott Held of the Southgate (Mich.) News Herald caught up with new NIU
basketball head coach Mark Montgomery. A four-year starter at Aquinas High
School in Southgate, coaches could see from an early age that Montgomery had
the demeanor of a coach on the floor, as Montgomery's high school coach Ernie
Price told the News Herald.
